Local Mast Cell Activation Promotes Neovascularization.
Bot I, Velden DV, Bouwman M, Kröner MJ, Kuiper J, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Mast cells have been associated with arteriogenesis and collateral formation. In advanced human atherosclerotic plaques, mast cells have been shown to colocalize with plaque neovessels, and mast cells have also been associated with tumor vascularization. Based on these associations, we hypothesize that mast cells promote angiogenesis during ischemia. In human ischemic muscle tissue from patients with end-stage peripheral artery disease, we observed activated mast cells, predominantly located aro...

Prevalence of hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules among those in need of fine needle aspiration cytology according to ATA 2015, EU-TIRADS, and ACR-TIRADS.
Noto B, Eveslage M, Pixberg M, Gonzalez Carvalho JM, Schäfers M, Riemann B, Kies P
Purpose: Given the large number of patients with thyroid nodules, improvement of the specificity of current ultrasound-based thyroid nodule classification systems (ATA, EU-TIRADS, and ACR-TIRADS) is warranted to reduce the number of diagnostic thyroidectomies. Thyroid scintigraphy has been shown to demonstrate hyperfunctional nodules, associated with a low malignancy risk, in euthyroid patients. However, it is not known if thyroid scintigraphy could improve specificity of current classification...

Evaluation of mode of birth in pregnant women with heart disease.
Petrus AHJ, Jongert BL, Kiès P, Sueters M, Jongbloed MRM, Vliegen HW, Schalij MJ, van Lith J, van den Akker T
Objective: Maternal heart disease (HD) complicates 1-4 % of pregnancies and is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Although vaginal birth is generally recommended in the guidelines, cesarean section (CS) rates in women with HD are often high. Aim of the present study was to evaluate mode of birth and pregnancy outcomes in women with HD in a tertiary care hospital in the Netherlands. Study design: The study population consisted of 128 consecutive pregnancies in 99 women with HD,...

The association of kidney function and cognitive decline in older patients at risk of cardiovascular disease: a longitudinal data analysis.
Zijlstra LE, Trompet S, Mooijaart SP, van Buren M, Sattar N, Stott DJ, Jukema JW
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been identified as a significant direct marker for cognitive decline, but controversy exists regarding the magnitude of the association of kidney function with cognitive decline across the different CKD stages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association of kidney function with cognitive decline in older patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease, using data from the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk...

Exercise haemodynamics after restrictive mitral annuloplasty for functional mitral regurgitation.
Petrus AHJ, Tops LF, Holman ER, Marsan NA, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ, Steendijk P, Klautz RJM, Braun J
Aims: Restrictive mitral annuloplasty (RMA) can provide a durable solution for functional mitral regurgitation (MR), but might result in obstruction to antegrade mitral flow. Aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of change in mitral valve area (MVA) during exercise after RMA, to relate the change in MVA to left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, and to assess its haemodynamic and clinical impact. Methods and results: Bicycle exercise echocardiography was performed in 32 patients aft...

Importance: Plaque morphologic measures on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) have been associated with future acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the evolution of calcified coronary plaques by noninvasive imaging is not known. Objective: To ascertain whether the increasing density in calcified coronary plaque is associated with risk for ACS. Design, setting, and participants: This multicenter case-control cohort study included individuals enrolled in ICONIC (Incident Coronary S...

Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and come in a variety of forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Rapid developments have taken place over the past decade in our understanding of these arrhythmias and in our ability to diagnose and treat them. The field of catheter ablation has progressed with the development of new methods and tools, and with the publication of large clinical trials. There...

Indications for an early invasive strategy in NSTE-ACS patients.
Zwart B, Ten Berg JM, van 't Hof AW, Tonino PAL, Appelman Y, Liem AH, Arslan F, Waltenberger J, Jukema JW, de Winter RJ, Damman P
An early invasive strategy in patients who have acute coronary syndrome without ST-elevation (NSTE-ACS) can improve clinical outcome in high-risk subgroups. According to the current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the majority of NSTE-ACS patients are classified as "high-risk". We propose to prioritise patients with a global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) risk score >140 over patients with isolated troponin rise or electrocardiographic changes and...

Background Rapid coronary plaque progression (RPP) is associated with incident cardiovascular events. To date, no method exists for the identification of individuals at risk of RPP at a single point in time. This study integrated coronary computed tomography angiography-determined qualitative and quantitative plaque features within a machine learning (ML) framework to determine its performance for predicting RPP. Methods and Results Qualitative and quantitative coronary computed tomography angio...

<b>Successful percutaneous occlusion of a large left circumflex coronary artery fistula draining into the coronary sinus using a</b> ventricular septal defect <b>occluder: a case report</b>.
Egorova AD, Ewert P, Hadamitzky M, Eicken A
Background: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a congenital anomaly of the coronaries that can lead to significant intracardiac shunting and myocardial ischaemia. Case summary: We describe the case of a 15-year-old male with an incidentally documented precordial cardiac murmur. An evidently dilated coronary sinus (CS) on transthoracic echocardiography prompted further investigation. A computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a large CAF from the left circumflex coronary artery to the CS....

Talar beak-induced intermittent ischemia of the foot.
Rotmans JI, van der Wal RJP, Schepers A
A 44-year-old man presented with symptoms of intermittent ischemia of the right foot. Computed tomography scanning of the right foot revealed a talar beak that had a close anatomic relation with the dorsalis pedis artery. Duplex ultrasound performed during a symptomatic episode confirmed ischemia induced by severe vasospasm of the dorsalis pedis artery that normalized 30 minutes later. The talar beak was removed by open surgery that resulted in complete resolution of the patient's symptoms....

Coronary anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot - A meta-analysis.
Koppel CJ, Jongbloed MRM, Kiès P, Hazekamp MG, Mertens BJA, Schalij MJ, Vliegen HW
Background: An anomalous coronary artery is reported in 2% to 23% of patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Knowledge of coronary anatomy prior to corrective surgery is vital to avoid damage to vessels crossing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). A meta-analysis on the prevalence of anomalous coronary arteries in TOF is lacking to date. Here, an overview of coronary anomalies in TOF is provided and implications for patient management are discussed. Methods: PubMed, Embase and Web of Sc...

Left ventricular remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: sex differences and prognosis.
van der Bijl P, Abou R, Goedemans L, Gersh BJ, Holmes DR, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Aims: Left ventricular (LV) remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) worsens outcome. The effect of sex on LV post-infarct remodelling is unknown. We therefore investigated the sex distribution and long-term prognosis of LV post-infarct remodelling after STEMI in the contemporary era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and optimal pharmacotherapy. Methods and results: Data were obtained from an ongoing primary PCI STEMI registry. LV remodelling was def...
